Spiral
2019
Cloth
3' x 2' x 1'
The act of braiding takes three (or more) separate pieces and ties them into a stronger whole. I wanted to create an unbreakable whole out of several disparate and at times clashing pieces that goes on and on, without a clear ending. The spiral, while it returns on itself as it circles, moves ever outward and thus ever forward, becoming a symbol of progress, slow as it may be, while the incomplete braids hang outward, encouraging viewers to continue the braid and the spiral so that it does not end.
